Abstract
Most existing methods for unavailability estimation of protected connections in optical networks using shared backup are approximate. This paper presents an analytical approach to the unavailability estimation. The failure state probabilities used by the approach are derived from an analytical way. The computed unavailability values based on the analytical state probabilities are viable.
